Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above. Just a thought of sweet remembrance just a memory sad and true, just the love and sweet devotion of one who thinks of you. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep. Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear. 1-800-263-6480 classifieds@metroland.comCLASSIFIEDS OBITUARIES | ANNOUNCEMENTS | JOBS | MARKETPLACE
